...Health Insurance for Street Children in the Philippines, a $130,940 finalist project proposed by Bahay Tuluyan.
There couldn't have been too many DM2007 visitors who were surprised. The project's People's Choice Award kiosk card was crammed with stickers of approval from visitors. Donna Barne blogged on the Street Children earlier today.
The project seeks to provide health insurance, health-related education, counseling and income to street children in Manila. According to the project's proposal, "there are over 300,000 street children in Manila who live and work in un-hygenic conditions without access to health care."

I think even if this project wasn't picked out as a monetary winner, something should be done to raise funds for it. It sounds absolutely great.
Business angels with a big heart needed! :)
